As in the west glows setting sun Red and crimson, as day's near done Forest deer from brook do drink From it's burrow scurries forest mink Birds fly home to trees to roost As crickets to singing are induced A small frog as though on a whim Into the brook dives to swim With crickets chirp comes twilight nigh As sun's last light leaves the sky Out comes the first night time star The heavens first jewel seen so far Peace and quiet fill the land A man travels with his bag of sand To sleep for now many do fall As others awake to night's first call As forest is swolowed in evenings dark In the distance sings a meadow lark All in the forest now is right For the saying of good night
